Houses with names.

All the houses on our road have names, no numbers at all. If you look at the original 1936 building plans for our house, one of the 8 original houses on the road, the plots were named on the plans, and those are the names allocated to the houses.

This hasn't, however, prevented the Post Office arbitrarily assigning numbers ten years ago, which plays havoc with shops' address databases; there is one commercial database in use which only has numbers, despite nobody on our road using them. This results in our house being #16, despite being the 4th house built !

Crikey, not surprised. You could always just remove the name, or change it to something different.

 

It is bad luck to change a house name.

 

If you do you will probably all be murdered as you sleep.

 

Don't do it.

I used to live in 'Pussy Palace' at uni; Not that there was buckets of pussy about. Of course there was a bit though. It was always a bit of a chuckle to get my bank statements and othe formal demands through to the Pussy Palace.
